New Study: People Who Meet Online Have Longer Marriages

According to a new study from the University of Chicago, couples who met online have happier and longer marriages. The researchers also discovered that more than one-third of marriages between 2005 and 2012 began online. Whoa.

Over 19,000 people were surveyed and it was discovered that marriage breakups occurred in 6 percent of the people who met online, compared with 7.6 percent of the people who met offline. Through the research, scientists determined that the least successful marriages were with those who met at a bar. Ha.

While where you meet your man doesn't really determine if you two will live happily ever after, the results of this study shake the shame off of online dating a little more.
